I’ve listened to it non-stop since it came out, and I’m still discovering things. It’s so dense, in a good way.
regarding Lil Wayne’s, Tha Carter III. It made me think about the first time I heard Talking Heads’, “Born Under Punches.” I felt dizzy, bowled over by how noisy the song was. All the dings and whistles packed into five minutes and forty-nine seconds, I still have a hard time remembering the song was built in 1980.
There are thousands of songs I love of course, but “Born Under Punches” is my favorite. It is the best. And it sets the stage for some of the songs I love today, 30 years later. What is Hot Chip’s “Over and Over” without Born Under Punches? What are The Avalanches?
Speaking of, last week I had a bout of malaise that I couldn’t shake. The only thing that made me smile was listening to “Frontier Psychiatrist.” More specifically, at 3:33 (on the original album) when the song wonders, “can you think of anything that talks? other than a person,” and a child’s voice offers, “a bird?” YEAH!
Oh and it looks like Hot Chip has a new song out today.
